We have 1 Chapel of ease - Ashill, which covers the Eastern end of Uffculme Parish. Another Chapel, also in Uffculme Parish, which we use with permission and licence: Bradfield All Saints. Only 1 church hall between us though - in Willand. Not forgetting the "Square Corner" cafe in the middle of Uffculme. Willand: the church of St. Mary the virgin. Originates from 1300's.  Uffculme: also St. Mary's.The largest of our churches. Originates from the 1100's.  Blackborough - just the churchyard with the recently (in 2010) returned/resited font are all that is left of the building (All Saints, declared redundant on 19th July 1994, and with little or no notice, demolished soon after). Homes are used for meetings.  Ashill: St. Stephen's Chapel Built 1882.
